I tried scandisk with nero cd-dvd speed and it gave me loads of bad sectors. Then I downloaded the latest beta version of anydvd and the rip worked fine with that. I tried nero cd-dvd speed scandisc again and all the bad sectors had gone.

Hmmm . . .

That is weird. That indicates something is the matter with 6.3.1.2.

Really, really weird because there appears to be no structural protection on that disc according to Anydvd . . .

You were using Anydvd ripper with both versions of Anydvd (Right click the red fox icon on your toolbar-->select "rip video-dvd to haddisk". Choose your source and destination paths. Click "Copy", and wait for Anydvd ripper to finish. You can then import that rip into whatever program you want), right?

Anyway, I'm glad 6.3.1.3 fixed the issue you were having.

Can you do this with 6.3.1.4, please (that may be of use to James):

a) Ensure Anydvd is running.
b) Put the problematic original disc in your optical drive/reader. Wait for Anydvd to scan the disc.
c) Right click the red fox icon on your toolbar.
d) Select "Create Logfile"
e) Wait for Anydvd to create a log file.
f) A pop-up screen will appear. Take note of the location where Anydvd created the logfile and the logfile's name. Click "ok".
g) Go to your My Documents folder
h) You will see a zip file called "Anydvd_Info_titleofmydisc.zip" (or something similar; see step f)
i) When replying or posting in the Slysoft forums, look for the icon that looks like
j) If you don't see that paperclip icon, click the "go advanced" button. You should see that icon now. Click the paperclip.
k) A small pop-up screen should appear (if it doesn't please ensure your browser is enabled to allow pop-ups from the Slysoft forums)
l) Click the "Browse" button, and locate and select the .zip file you created.
m) click "upload"
